Introduction

Seagrasses are marine plants that play a crucial role in the health of coastal ecosystems. These underwater plants not only provide habitat and food for a variety of marine organisms but also help to mitigate the effects of ocean acidification. Ocean acidification, caused by the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, poses a significant threat to marine life and ecosystems worldwide. Seagrasses have the ability to absorb carbon dioxide and help buffer the effects of acidification in the surrounding water, making them important allies in the fight against climate change.
